Honestly, Kaden’s gaze shifted from Sonny to Heath, then back to Sonny again. It annoyed Heath and made him feel indignant on his cousin’s behalf.Sonny was far more capable than he was. Even Zachary, who clearly favored Callia, said more than once that Sonny was a business prodigy with an exceptionally sharp eye. Every project Sonny invested in had been a success.The only thing Sonny lacked compared to him was his family background. Although Liberty was the head of the Fisher family in Jensburg, none of the Fishers’ wealth or status had anything to do with him. Duncan was Sonny’s stepfather, not his biological father. Still, he said he would leave half of his assets to Sonny.In the eyes of outsiders, Sonny’s family background still could not compare to that of a true scion like Heath.However, what gave Kaden the right to look down on Sonny? In Heath’s opinion, that glance from Kaden was clearly a sign of disdain toward Sonny.The Flemmings were undoubtedly a wealthy family, bu

The night passed peacefully.When Heath woke up the next day, Sonny had already eaten after making breakfast. Seeing Heath come down, he said, “Heath, I’ve eaten. I’m heading to the airport now.“You can head to the office once you’ve eaten. Your driver will come pick you up, right? If he doesn’t, there are several cars in my garage. Take whichever one you want. The keys are all there.”Sonny pointed at the liquor cabinet. Next to it, several car keys hung on the wall.Heath said, “Go ahead. I’ll take care of myself. My driver will pick me up. Do you want me to lock the house for you later?”“The housekeepers are already at work. There’s no need to lock the main gate. They’ll need to come in to clean the house.”The doors to Sonny’s bedroom and study were already locked. When he was not home, the housekeepers would only clean the guest rooms. They never entered the master bedroom or Sonny’s study. They could not get in anyway, since those rooms were usually kept locked.The hous

“You’re not imposing. When we went to Wiltspoon last time, you put your work aside and spent the entire day accompanying us. Now that you’re in Clearfield, we’re your hosts. Of course we should take good care of you.“How many days will you be staying this time? Will you head back as soon as you finish work, or are you staying a little longer?” Everly enquired.If Sonny stayed for a few extra days, she could properly show him around as his host. She could take him to try some authentic local cuisine and visit some of the attractions.Sonny said, “I’ll be here for a week. If I finish everything ahead of schedule, I might have another two days to look around. Otherwise, I’ll have to head back as soon as I’m done with work.“My other company needs me there to oversee things. My business partner has some other matters to take care of.”Everly sounded disappointed. “Just a week? If you squeeze your schedule a bit, you should be able to find a day or two. I can show you around. I told y

Everly was envious.When Maddie was pregnant with Everly, her husband, Ike Flemming, died in an accident. At the time, her family, the Zellers, advised her to abort the child and leave the Flemmings to remarry someone else.However, Maddie had a very deep bond with Ike, who was an only child. Kaden had not had to beg Maddie to keep the baby, as she insisted on giving birth to Everly, Ike’s only living legacy.Maddie had hoped for a son, since the Flemmings had a large family business. If it were a son, the succession would be much smoother, at least when it came to winning over the senior executives.Yet, a girl, Everly, was born. Maddie was utterly disappointed and could not accept that she was a girl. She even suspected the hospital had swapped her child out.She clamored for a maternity test to prove it and refused to believe it even after Kaden and her own family all said the child had not been swapped out.Finally, they actually did the DNA test, which proved Everly was biol

Two hours later, they arrived at Clearfield Hotel.Everly’s car stopped in its designated parking spot, which she had because she was a shareholder of the hotel.Just as she got out, a well-dressed man jogged over with a bouquet in hand.“Are you Ms. Everly Flemming? I’m Nate Tatum. Your uncle introduced me to you. Your mom’s told you about our blind date, right? You’re really busy, so I waited for you here.”Everly did not want to attend the blind date, but her date actually came all the way to Clearfield Hotel to wait for her.Needless to say, it was her mother who told this guy she would be here. Maddie had not dared to call her directly and told Kaden to pass on the message, also to use him to pressure her to go on the blind date.Everly cast Nate a cold glance, which immediately disabused him of the notion to step closer. He surreptitiously stepped back to put more distance between them even as he forced a smile onto his handsome face.He looked at Everly with apprehensio
